Ever since I bought Reykja, I’ve had a photo of Mount Rugby hanging above my bed. Over five years this was my dream: to make it this far, from Fehmarn in the Baltic Sea. Now I’m about to master the most remote part of the circumnavigation of Tasmania. On my way to Bathurst Channel and Port Davey, I’m battling with swells, strong winds and wet feet. Discover the magnificent nature of Higgs Pyramid and Nye Bay, the pioneering history and magic of south-west Tasmania.

Remote Islands. Expeditions to the Australian Coral Sea.
I am fascinated by remote islands. Uninhabited. Which you can only reach if you have a boat. These Pacific islands exist. Far out in the Australian Coral Sea. Visited by birds, occasionally turtles. But it takes courage to sail there. Especially because I’m sailing alone. No one is out there to help you. And I know little about the dangers. Nothing should go wrong here. So, I start exercising.
